[00:18.88]Back when I was a child
[00:24.45]Before life removed all the innocence
[00:30.66]My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
[00:42.37]Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
[00:48.14]Then up the stairs he would carry me
[00:52.67]And I knew for sure I was loved
[00:59.36]If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
[01:11.95]I'd play a song that would never ever end
[01:16.36]How I'd love, love, love
[01:19.45]To dance with my father again
[01:34.88]When I and my mother would disagree
[01:41.44]To get my way I would run from her to him
[01:48.08]He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah yeah
[01:53.30]Then finally make me do just what my moma said
[01:58.61]Later that night when i want to sleep
[02:03.02]He left a dollar under my sheet
[02:09.65]Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
[02:16.40]If i could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
[02:28.97]I'd play a song that would never ever end
[02:33.38]'Cause I'd love, love, love, love
[02:36.77]To dance with my father again
[02:43.67]Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
[02:49.61]And I'd hear how mama cried for him
[02:55.67]I pray for her even more than me
[03:01.55]I pray for her even more than me
[03:21.68]I know I'm praying for much too much
[03:27.50]But could you send back the only man she loved
[03:34.16]I know you don't do it usually
[03:38.57]But dear Lord she's dying
[03:42.59]To dance with my father again
[03:51.77]Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
[03:57.56]THE END
